Starting my first build. Got my psu (coolmax 380w 80+) and ram (2 X 2gb Patriot DDR2) for a pc built for some light gaming and sound editing potential all on the cheap. I'm looking to spend under $350 for the tower. Found a msi radeon 4650 512mb 128bit for $36, open box biostar ta770a2+se mobo for $57, amd x2 5600+ brisbane for $61. I've got one ide cd drive to put in the case which as you might have notice I have left out of the picture.
well a friend of mine had an old hp pavillion or w/e with a p2 from like 2000. And their pizza oven just took a ****. So...
I'm going to try and harvest a few pieces from the hp (pci covers and 5.25" covers, the mobo tray and a few brackets) and attach them to the case. I will post pictures in the next couple of days.
worse comes to worse I'll just **** some money on a cheapo case and rig it but the computers in the logs made it seem all the more reasonable.
